Continuity of Government: Is the State of Emergency Superseding our Constitution?
On 9/11, the Bush administration implemented “Continuity of Government” (COG) measures, a set of secret emergency rules which Congress has not been allowed to review. These were reinforced by the proclamation of a state of emergency which has continued to be renewed by President Obama, despite vocal criticism. Do COG measures, as some people warn, indicate that the Constitution has been superseded?
